Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering.
- Add the diced bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the spices to toast and coat the vegetables evenly.
- While the vegetables are cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
- To assemble the tacos, spoon the cooked vegetable mixture onto each warm tortilla.
- Top each taco with slices of avocado and a generous sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
Tips
- For an extra kick, consider adding some diced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture.
- Feel free to customize the veggies based on seasonal availability or your personal preferences. Spinach, corn, or black beans can make excellent additions.
- To enhance the creaminess, you might want to add a dollop of Greek yogurt or a cashew cream sauce.
